Abstract

SNPs of the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) gene, an inhibitor of T cell priming, are associated with auto- and allo-immunity. Previously, studies implied a role for these SNPs as surrogate markers for outcome in melanoma patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, no predictive SNPs are defined to date. The primary aim of this study was to analyze different CTLA-4 SNPs in a large real-world cohort of melanoma patients treated with ipilimumab and to correlate these SNPs with toxicity and survival.
